A bio-inspired neurodynamics based path-following controller of underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in the presence of ocean current is proposed. A kind of bio-inspired neurodynamics model and the backstepping path-following controller are combined in this paper. The bio-inspired neurodynamics model is applied to generate smooth forward and angular velocities, so that the sharp sp...

Abstract We study a PDE-constrained optimal control problem that involves functions of bounded variation as controls and includes the TV seminorm in objective. apply path-following inexact Newton method to problems arise from smoothing adding an $$H^1$$ H 1 regularizati...

This work presents a robust constrained path-following control scheme for the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) under wind disturbances. Through appointing projection from UAV to path, Serret–Frenet frame is introduced reduce complexity of problem. Specifically, disturbance interval observer employed generate Then, design presented based on dynamic surface technique, and auxiliary system adopted de...

For an efficient and reliable operation of Airborne Wind Energy System, it is widely accepted that the kite should follow a pre-defined optimized path. In this article, we address problem designing trajectory controller so such path closely followed. The path-following controllers investigated are based on well-known nonlinear guidance logic termed L1 proposed modification it, which L0. We have...

This paper presents the path tracking and following for the Autonomous LHD (Load-Haul-Dump) articulated vehicle. A fuzzy logic control system for the articulated vehicle was developed to control longitudinal and lateral motion. The lateral control keeps the vehicle along the planned path and the longitudinal control makes the vehicle running at the required speed. Fuzzy logic control method is ...
